Founder of Bubs, club management software for private golf and country clubs.
Tim Lenahan founded Bubs to give private clubs one system for the whole club — the tee sheet, the member app, the registers, the statement and the ledger — built the way a modern consumer product is built.
Before Bubs, Tim led React Native rewrites of consumer apps in daily fantasy sports and at PrizePicks, products used by millions of people every month. He believes in staying lean: small teams, few moving parts, and software that does the job without a manual.
He is also obsessed with golf. He has built his own golf-simulator ball-flight models and training software, and his own shot-tracking system for his game — which is how a mobile engineer ends up writing about tee-time lotteries and food and beverage minimums.
Tim writes the Bubs guides for general managers, controllers, golf professionals and F&B directors.
